I just realised who you are. I recommend your book to any new or young gardener to hopefully get them on the right path. It’s the best gardening book I own. I can’t believe you just popped up on RUclips doing what you do best, sharing knowledge. Now I can recommend your channel too. A big thank you from the uk. Good day to you kind sir
Thank you so much.
I have volunteer boxwoods that I want to start pruning into topiaries. Thanks for sharing how to do cloud pruning, I'll probably try that style on one. I have eight boxwoods in various sizes, two are nearly three feet tall. I also have two red cedar trees, which were planted by the birds. Once the rain stops, I can start that project. Thanks for sharing your expertise! ~Margie
Looks great l have three that l have clipped and trained over many years well worth the effort
Thank you very much! Very interesting and easy to understand! 🙏🏼🌿
love this would love to see step by step and what this tree looks like now
great video! thank you for capturing the various stages.
I tried it and it looks great ❣️ Thank you 🥰
Great video, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge
I like Pom poms better than clouds.. I enjoyed the way you explained and showed what you’re doing. 👍🏼
What's the difference?
Greetings from Melbourne Australia ❤ What’s the name of the hostas @5:20 round the base of the tree?
I have been binge watching your movies here and I am getting closer to what I am after. . . . . . Espalier! I want to try an annual this year, on the south/east side of my house, any recommendations? Zone 5 I should just go for it and get the apple tree, right? ;) I'm American and want the instant (2 seasons) gratification though. 😔
Great content. Love this channel. You didn't mention other trees to use this cloud pruning on. Is it only yews or evergreens in general?
Back to the channel. . . .
For cloud pruning you want a tree that easily regrows when you cut it. Most evergreens don't do that. Some horizontal junipers work - but they grow slower. You can use pines, but you need to be more careful not to cut something off that you want.
Get the apple - my first espalier apples was done in my second year of gardening - it is not that hard. If you want an annual vine - runner beans are a good choice.
Those side branches on the pom-poms - @ 4:17 rather than cutting them off could you wire them, a bit horizontally, to increase the diameter of pom-poms sooner?
Yes, provided the wood you are training is not too old. Older wood is more difficult to change.
Are you not concerned that the stem will be able to support the weight of the cloud later on. I am surprised you chose to keep the stem so long. Would a shorter stem be sturdier and stronger? May be the clouds get bigger the stem will adjust to their weights.
The stem will get thicker as the clouds grow, and i can decide on how big to let the clouds get. I don't think shorter is stronger, except maybe in a strong wind.
beautiful vase, i hope it's not plastic 😢
It is a fiberglass planter
Not trying to be a troll but the yew you showed has a completely different structure than yours. The one you have is a fatter yew the one you showed has a columnar or fastigate skinny structure. I'm such an autistic plant nerd and I'll admit I can cloud prune most anything but doing a pine niawaki style from scratch I screw it up every time. 3 thunderhead pinus thunbergii and 10 years later I've almost got it but I still ain't happy with the new one. Lol
